It’s time to share your frugal and nourishing tips and recipes! Where do you shop for quality food at a lower price? What recipe saves a penny? How do you balance a budget with nourishing food? Share here.

Please read through the three simple rules for those participating. This helps keep the quality of our carnival. Please read them through before linking and thanks again for your continued participation.

1) No linking to giveaways or promotions for affiliates or sponsors. One thing that I’ve noticed increasingly on Pennywise Platter is that I am getting more and more promotional pieces for affiliates or sponsors and a lot of giveaways. I’ve decided to keep Pennywise less “commercial” and more in tune with the spirit of the carnival by not allowing these links anymore. There was nothing wrong with those of you who linked to them, I just think that it will protect the integrity of our carnival better without them. Plus, it makes our links valuable in the future as well. A link to a giveaway three months old isn’t going to be worth browsing in three months time, but a link to a recipe for a frugal soup would be. I will be deleting any giveaway links or promotional links.

2) Keep the ingredients “nourishing”, such as whole grains, meats, vegetables, legumes, unrefined salt and sugars, chicken, etc. I am not going to be an ingredient police every week, but if there is a link to a post that is obviously not filling any of the criteria for healthy (for example, a white flour, white sugar birthday cake), I will delete that link. However, feel free to post vegetarian, vegan, raw, low-carb, etc.

3) Link back to the carnival This is common carnival courtesy. And more then that, it helps build the community of the carnival as you are sending your readers to others participating. And please, as a blogger, check out other’s posts and leave a comment! I know that we would all love to hear from each other.

How to link up to your post? Read below.

Using the Mr. Linky, link back to your specific post, not just your blog.

I love beautiful and simple food that is nourishing to the body and the soul. I wrote Fresh: Nourishing Salads for All Seasons and Ladled: Nourishing Soups for All Seasons as another outlet of sharing this love of mine. I also love sharing practical tips on how to make a real food diet work on a real life budget. Find me online elsewhere by clicking on the icons below!

This week I’m sharing my Rosemary Lamb Stew, a vege side dish – sauteed purple sprouting broccoli, and the first installment of my new weekly feature Menu Inspirations! Thanks for hosting and have a great week!

I shared my recipe for Mushrooms Stuffed With Fennel, Apple and Blue Cheese. This is a healthy appetizer recipe with low carbs because I never use bread crumbs as a filler. I chop up the mushroom stems and use them in the filling along with all of the other ingredients. Yum!
Thanks for hosting!

This weekend was my daughter’s fourth birthday, so I posted the layer cake with frosting I made her that is GAPS legal, Paleo friendly, and FREE of grains, dairy, nuts, soy and cane sugar–and wow is it good! Hope you enjoy it!

Thanks for hosting! I have an unusual link. This is the second to last in a weekly series on getting the house under control. This morning our carpenter called and asked for pictures of the work he had done for us. It is gorgeous work and I was glad my house was clean enough to be photographed. This is how I manage it with ten kids and homeschooling.

Added a link for roasting- one of the easiest and cheapest ways to cook food. Takes a bit longer, but is hard to screw up, and utilizes cheaper cuts of meat (although still fully nutritious and delicious!)

Hi and thanks for hosting! This week I’m sharing a wonderful recipe for Corned Beef Stew. This recipe always leaves some leftovers, plus you can freeze quart-size portions to defrost and serve anytime you want to feel nourished and comforted without a lot of time in the kitchen.

Hi,
I just left a link (#82&83) for Cornucopia Cassoulet. The linky asked for my name and below that the URL. It posted my name and not the name of the dish. I hope you can fix this. It’s my first time here; sorry for the inconvenience.
